Withers focused on UNC seniors; may join Ohio State staff

Posted Dec 15, 2011
For one of the final times, Everett Withers stood on the Kenan Stadium field Wednesday and led North Carolina's football team through a practice. As his days as the Tar Heels' interim coach wind down, Withers denied that he felt nostalgic. "The life of any football team is not long," he said. "And all football teams are special to you, and this one's special because of what these kids have gone through." (Raleigh News & Observer)
